Broken Heart or Broken Bones email this discussion to a friend?

Which would you rather have to deal with?

With a broken bone, you could have many physical limitations for a long time. YOu might not be able to walk or write or even sit up straight. But, if all goes well with recovery, you know that after a certain, determined period of time, you're all better. You will have a cast on your arm for 6 weeks, then you will go through a month of physical therapy and you're done. You are recovered. Life goes on as normal (as long as their are no complications).

With a broken heart, you don't have physical limitations. You can still physically manage everything you could before. But, emotionally you may not be able to function for an indefinite period of time, and the long term affects in so many areas of your life might be extensive.

With a broken heart, no matter how long it takes to heal, it can heal if you let it, and you can learn some valuable lessons. With a broken bone, if you don't properly care for it, or if anything goes wrong beyond your control, you could have damage that will affect the rest of your life.

So, if you had to choose, which one? Broken heart or broken bone? Think in terms of immediate and long term side effects of both.

Broken heart. I've had it so many times in my life that I have really reached the point of getting over it much more easily than the 1st time, and I am a wuss when it comes to pain. I have been shot with a rifle through my chest, I have to give myself daily injections, but other than the injections, I never willingly give myself pain; I don't have tattoos or piercings (except for the pierced ears I got when I was 3 - not my choice), but I never seek out physical pain.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5584)   ranked 118 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

Wow! Shot through the chest. I'm so glad you're here to talk about it, SomethingGood332!

I'm a horrible baby when it comes to physical pain, too. I fear it terribly.

I would choose broken bones anyday! My husband and I are going through something right now and its breaking my heart. The pain is unbearable. We've been together for 13 yrs. I would give anything for a broken bone right now!

i would choose broken heart. all people experience broken heart and i really think its inevitable thing for us humans. even in simple things we experience a broken heart. our pet dies, our favorite toy is lost, our favorite cake was eaten by our younger brother.. a broken heart is just an emotion that can be filled with love sooner or later.

but with a broken bone, at times it goes beyond repair. it could lead to amputation/disability.. and leads to insecurities, despair, self pity, depression, suicidal ideation and death.

when we say broken heart, its not really broken physically. again, its just the emotion that is broken that can be easily mend by love.

That is an excellent point, chechuva.

broken bone for me. i don't know what i'm gonna do if my bf leaves me and i don't wanna experience to be broken hearted anymore


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5584)   ranked 118 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

Yes, rhane7315, a broken heart is nothing I ever want to go through again, either.

I have had to deal with both a broken heart and a broken bone and without a second thought I would pick breaking(or having one broken) bone over another breaking heart.

Life does not always go on as normal after a broken bone my dear D. I had my foot broken and it did not heal right and I have a slight limp and a foot that is not 100% years later.

My heart was not only broken but ripped out of my chest when the love of my life was killed. I have not gotten over it nor do I think I ever will but I have been able to move on.

There is just no way I could take another broken heart. I would much rather someone break almost all the bones in my body at one time then having to learn how to move on again.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5584)   ranked 118 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

You know, Raz, when I started this discussion, I didn't have an answer in mind for myself. I'm still not sure I do.

I lean towards rather having broken bones right now, because I think no matter how much a broken heart does heal, there is always going to be a piece missing.

But, with time that could change for me. I don't know.

I'm sorry for the loss of your love. I don't think I knew that this had ever happened to you before.


myLot reputation of 89/100. razcal2267 (7545)   ranked 40 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

Time does help but there are some times when a heart just can not heal fully. Nothing for you to be sorry about, you weren't the drunk that killed him and I have moved on enough that I was able to open up again and find the great (not flawless) guy that I am with now.

well, My age is just 22+, but I have gone through the break for 2 times and both times I have been cheated . Once I have been through broken bones ....but its not much painful then broken heart ... So if I'll have to choose then I'll choose broken bone 100 times better than broken heart dear ...

Bcoz the pain which I have got those times was too much .... and I cann't forget that for my lie time...

thanks!!!


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5584)   ranked 118 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

Two heartbreaks in only 22 years is sad, sincere4frdship. I hope you do not experience that again.


myLot reputation of 88/100. sincere4frdship (793)   ranked 2,346 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

well, I had also hope after my first experience but what happened after that I have said you ...

But I have still too much hope from my future like others human beings....

thanks!!!

I'd say I'd rather have a broken heart than broken bones.
With a broken heart, I can actually get to do other things and get over it sooner. But with broken bones, I'll be stuck till it heals and I'll have nothing much to do than sit and pity myself. And I'll be too frustrated not being able to do things on my own.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5584)   ranked 118 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

That's a good point about the emotional effects of the physical problem, SViswan. It's very discouraging to not be mobile.

Honestly...several yrs ago I would have said a broken bone over broken heart but thats because back then I wasnt able to handle emotional hurt and emotional hurt was actually SO difficult for me it ended up also being a PHYSICAL thing...these days though, I guess either or...I'd handle both the same really since my attitude is "just deal with it..you're smart and tough" and I am so neither would get me down for long...


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5584)   ranked 118 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

That's a great attitude to have. Kind of the same as the attitude about not letting circumstances ruin your life. I like your outlook on things. happy

I don't like either one, especially the broken heart. That can last so long and feel so terrible. I've never had a broken bone though. I guess if it would heal eventually i would choose it over the broken heart.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5584)   ranked 118 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

I think I would too, scags2005. I have never had one either, but it seems like a more definite healing.

I think at this point I would rather have a broken bone. I just got through getting my heart broken so I am still feeling the effects of that right now. However, I think if I wasn't buried in my emotional pain right now, I would hope to have a broken heart as opposed to a broken bone, because at least then I wouldn't have any physical limitations. And yes, time does heal, and sometimes broken bones can last a long time.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dfn12968 (5584)   ranked 118 out of 17,553 in relationships  5 months ago

I'm not sure either, kfrisk. I've never experienced a broken bone, but I have experienced a broken heart and recenlty enough that I know I never want to feel that way again. But, if I fell down the stairs today and broke my leg, I'm relatively certain I'd be cursing myself for thinking I could handle it! LOL
